Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 620: Has the Old Friend Entered Your Dreams?

"Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, this is all his side of the story, sheer slander!"

Situ Lei immediately flew into a rage.

He had never expected Chen Jianxiong to spill the details of their conversation, and in front of so many people at that!

"This is exactly what you told me, right over there by the restroom!"

Chen Jianxiong spat out immediately, his face already torn, there was no longer any need to seek a compromise!

"Alright, there's nothing more for you here now."

Su Chen said indifferently, believing that the truth of the matter was already clear in the hearts of those present.

And indeed, it was. Although Situ Lei refused to admit it, everyone knew that Chen Jianxiong was telling the truth.

Because from any angle, there was no reason for Chen Jianxiong to falsely accuse him.

Even if someone were to be falsely accused, why target him, the future heir to the Situ Family?

The only doubt was what Situ Lei told him about his conflict with Lin Ruoxue's husband, with this man; what was the nature of their conflict?

However, as the matter involved the Situ Family, everyone was afraid to speak out, and the elders understood all too well and were even less inclined to say anything.

"Now, do you have anything else to say?"

Su Chen looked at the elders with a mocking tone.

"Su Tian, oh, Su Chen, indeed, what Situ Lei did was really out of line. I'll have him apologize to you and your wife, and we can consider the matter closed, how about that?"

At this point, Situ Kong was trying to smooth things over. Denial was pointless, as everyone had already seen clear.

After all, Su Chen's identity was special, and his cultivation too formidable. The best course of action now was to take a slight hit to their pride and move past this incident.

"Sure, have him come over and apologize then."

Su Chen said indifferently.

"Situ Lei, get over here and apologize to Su Chen and his wife!"

Situ Kong grunted coldly.

"Grandfather, I didn't..."

Situ Lei walked over trembling and in denial, but Situ Kong cut him off in an instant.

"You unfilial child, do you still want to deny it now? Do you think everyone here is a fool? Do you know what your grandfather and we old fellows are to each other? Brothers!"

Situ Kong's face was full of coldness, as if enraged by Situ Lei, he said with a severe tone:

"You even dared to scheme against his granddaughter-in-law; you're worse than a beast!"

"I... I..."

Situ Lei started stammering, his face also becoming very unsightly.

"What 'I'? Apologize! Apologize sincerely to Su Chen and his wife!"

Situ Kong's brow tightened as he coldly ordered again.

Situ Lei had not expected things to turn out like this, that he would actually have to apologize to this bastard who had humiliated him!

This was undoubtedly like rubbing salt into his wounds!

But there was no helping it; given the current situation, he had no choice but to bow deeply, filled with resentment, to Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue:

"Su Chen, and President Lin, this matter was my fault, I'm sorry, please forgive me!"

After saying this, Situ Lei's face turned the color of a pig's liver; when had he ever been so humiliated?

Although he was insulted even more severely last time, it was at least in a private room, and the others were humiliated as much as he was.

But now was entirely different, with only him being forced to apologize, and more importantly, in front of such a distinguished gathering, with countless eyes watching!

"Su Chen, seeing how sincere his attitude is, can we consider the matter settled?"

Situ Kong said softly, thinking that making it this far was already giving enough face to him!

"That's what you call sincere?"

Su Chen glanced at him and said:

"Then your threshold for sincerity really is low!"

"Do you really think everything can be resolved with just a few words?"

Suddenly, Su Chen's expression hardened, and he shouted sternly:

"You're all far too naive to think that!"

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the crowd was taken aback. Even after Situ Lei had bent over to apologize, this guy was still unrelenting—isn't he being too unreasonable?

Truth be told, the fact that Situ Lei had taken the initiative to apologize was already beyond their expectations; after all, when had they ever seen someone from the Five Great Families, and from the Legitimate Line at that, apologizing to others?

Especially in such a public setting!

However, unexpectedly, it seemed that this young man still wasn't willing to let go, which was quite over the top!

But then, on second thought, considering he was that person's son, it seemed somewhat reasonable after all!

If he was the son of that person, how could he be ordinary?

So, the crowd settled down to watch the unfolding drama comfortably, curious to see how it would all pan out.

Situ Kong, upon hearing Su Chen's words, immediately radiated a ferocious aura.

Because going this far was already quite accommodating on his part; were it not for his special status and powerful cultivation, he would never have allowed Situ Lei to apologize in public.

After all, Situ Lei represented the honor of the Situ Family!

The other elders also thought that for Situ Kong to make Situ Lei apologize publicly was already impressive.

But unexpectedly, Su Chen still wasn't satisfied, which was just too much!

"What more do you want, then?"

Situ Kong's eyes, filled with icy frost, stared intently at Su Chen as he spoke.

"Quite simple, kneel before my wife and kowtow to apologize! Until my wife forgives you!"

Su Chen said casually, as if it were a mere triviality.

Yet, when his words came out, everyone present thought their ears must be playing tricks on them!

What did he say? Have Situ Lei kneel and kowtow in apology?

Is this some kind of international joke?

Is today April Fool's Day?

Not just onlookers, but even all those from the Five Great Families thought the guy had completely lost his mind!

Otherwise, how could he utter such outrageous, absurd remarks?

To have Situ Lei kneel and kowtow in apology? How dare he make such a brazen statement!

"Su Chen, are you joking?"

At this moment, Situ Kong's face was so dark it seemed almost subterranean, menacing beyond belief:

"This joke isn't funny at all!"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Su Chen retorted coldly, without a hint of fear.

Madness! Sheer madness! They had truly lost their minds!

The other people's heads were ringing. This was a showdown in the making!

Mixed with trepidation and fear, there was also a bit of anticipation among the crowd, as they suddenly became as excited as if they were on adrenaline.

"Are you truly willing to ignore the past relationships with your grandfather and father, to push things this far?"

Situ Kong spat out through clenched teeth.

The other elders also implored Su Chen to let it go, to save face for them, considering they were old acquaintances of his father and grandfather. They urged him not to take things too far.

Upon hearing these old fellows' words, Su Chen immediately sneered; his eyes shot towards these elders like ice blades formed from the coldest frost.

"You have some nerve to bring up my grandfather and father!"

Su Chen looked at their hypocritical faces, and a nameless rage surged from deep within:

"I would like to ask you, have you ever dreamt of the old days over these years, ever woken up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night?"
